Stars can still be added via stars.add
but they can no longer be viewed or interacted with by end-users. Additionally, the star_added
event is no longer emitted. We recommend retiring any app functionality that relies on stars
APIs.
End-users can use the new Later view, but Later APIs are not currently available.
See this changelog for more information.
This method adds a star to an item (message, file, file comment, channel, private group, or DM) on behalf of the authenticated user.
One of file
, file_comment
, channel
, or the combination of channel
and timestamp
must be specified.
Typical success response
{
"ok": true
}
Typical error response
{

"error": "invalid_auth"
}
This table lists the expected errors that this method could return. However, other errors can be returned in the case where the service is down or other unexpected factors affect processing. Callers should always check the value of the ok
